Who do you turn to in a crisis, asks Jo Sanders, partner & UK head of media & reputation, Withers, in this week’s NLJ

She writes: ‘Law firms have evolved in recent years to package together blended legal skills to cover all kinds of crisis and to market crisis management services as a distinct specialism.’

Sanders explains what constitutes a crisis, offers some examples of scenarios, and sets out what crisis management specialist lawyers do, including the need to act with maximum haste. She covers the types of non-legal and legal specialisms within the team, as well as presenting some advice from experts on the key points to remember in a crisis.
